In the Spirit of Service: Fire Up Your Volunteerism Keynote Speech by Snowden McFall
In any non-profit organization or association, volunteers are the lifeblood that sustains the hard-working staff. It's easy to invite volunteers in, but often harder to get them to follow-through and deliver what they promised. It can also be challenging to retain good volunteers and help them feel appreciated when you have a tight budget. Burnout can occur quickly, and unhappy volunteers can be your worst form of publicity. Promoting and encouraging volunteerism in the community is another critical aspect of any non-profit. It's been said that service is the highest form of human expression. Kindness and extension of the heart have ripples that go on and on and on. This can give great meaning to people whose lives are caught up in the ratrace of work and time crunches.
In this highly inspirational and practical presentation, CEO, author, motivational speaker and long-time community volunteer Snowden McFall will share stories of exemplary volunteers with you and demonstrate:
• how to get volunteers on board and inspire them to participate at whatever level they feel comfortable
• how to ensure that volunteers honor their commitments and follow-through
• how to recognize, reward and encourage those volunteers to stay active
• how to spot burnout in your volunteers and how to remedy it
• how to cut your chances of heart attack in half
• how to inspire good volunteers to become great volunteers
• how to instill a commitment to service and kindness in all of your people,be they volunteers or employees
• how to touch into the heart with your volunteers
and let them know how special they really are
Snowden also works with boards of directors of non-profits to keep them engaged, motivated and
active in their board work.
